Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheet at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring it's pliable but still cold.
- In a medium bowl, gently mix fresh blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until the berries are evenly coated.
- Carefully unfold the puff pastry sheet onto the prepared baking sheet, smoothing out any creases.
- Using a sharp knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry, creating a frame without cutting completely through.
- Spread the blueberry mixture evenly within the scored border, leaving the edges clear.
- Brush the exposed pastry border with beaten egg, which will help create a golden, shiny crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving.
Tips
- • Keep your puff pastry cold but pliable - this ensures maximum flakiness • Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the most intense flavor • Don't skip the egg wash - it's the secret to that gorgeous golden sheen • Let the tart rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set properly • For an extra touch of elegance, serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream • Use a sharp knife when scoring the pastry to create clean, precise edges • Check your pastry around the 20-minute mark to prevent over-browning
